Written by Swansea Building Society | Jun 23, 2025 8:32:01 AM

We have expanded our frontline team across our branch network and head office, following the announcement of our fourth consecutive year of record-breaking results. 

Our Society has welcomed nine new team members across a variety of roles in recent months, reinforcing our commitment to delivering exceptional personal service while continuing to grow and invest in our future.

Among the recent appointments are Callum Curtis, who joins as Financial Risk Manager; Conor Harrison and Daniel Clifford, both taking on Mortgage Administrator roles at the Society’s head office; and Jaimee Walters, who has joined as a Manager’s Assistant, also based at head office. 

Supporting our high street presence, Paula Johnson has joined our Portland Street branch as a Manager’s Assistant, while Christopher Rice takes up the position of Branch Manager in Cowbridge. Additionally, Kathryn Chadwick has joined our Mumbles branch as a part-time Cashier, with Sally Fuller and Hayley Barnes also appointed as part-time Cashiers at our Portland Street and Carmarthen branches respectively.

The appointments come at a time of sustained success for our Society, following our announcement of our strongest-ever financial results at our Annual General Meeting. This growth has been driven by a continued focus on customer service, local decision-making, and a branch-based model that puts community first.

Alun Williams, our Chief Executive, said:

“Following another record year, we are delighted to have welcomed several new colleagues to the Society. These appointments reflect not only our ongoing growth, but our long-standing commitment to investing in our people and maintaining the personal, face-to-face service that sets us apart.

“Our branch network and head office teams are central to the Society’s success, and we are proud to continue strengthening those teams to support both existing and new members across South Wales.”

The Society, which has built a strong reputation for delivering tailored financial services and reinvesting into local communities, remains one of the few financial institutions still opening — not closing — branches. It continues to combine traditional service values with modern convenience through recent digital enhancements, including a new app and online savings platform.
